Microsoft Exchange Account Disappears from Android Phone - Motorola Droid

At least I'm not alone in the fact that my Motorola Droid keeps loosing my Microsoft Exchange email account periodically. I have personally lost the exchange account 4 times (and the other IMAP accounts under the email application). Putting in the credentials again "fixes it". The frequency has gone up since the upgrade to Android 2.0.1. During the entire time the gmail mail accounts are fine. Here are a few of the posts that I'm tracking relating to the issue. No official word from Google, Motorola, or Verizon on the problem -or a pending fix.

I'm looking for a better way to diagnose and find the root cause of this problem. Any suggestions are very welcome.

    I have an employee here with the same issue. We have to set up his exchange mail once a week and he also loses his contacts in the process. I have the contacts now saved as google and phone contacts, and installed lookout to back them up that way too. This is on a Samsung Epic Touch 4G Galaxy SII.

    Can confirm issue in my Galaxy S3. I have randomly lost my corporate Exchange account 3 times this month. Contacts are lost as well as calendar info.
    This happens after rebooting my device.
    Setting the account with the wiizard again restores all data from the server but it is annoying and definitely shouldn't be happening

Moen 1225 Kitchen Faucet Cartridge Repair or Replacement

Image
Is your your Moen single handle kitchen faucet hard to use or leaking around the handle? If it is you can easily lubricate or replace the 1225 cartridge in the faucet. If you're the original owner owner of the faucet Moen warrants them to be leak-free for lifetime. I called the 800 number at 1-800-289-6636 and requested a replacement cartridge kit for the faucet (think ours is model 7730). They sent it out no charge in about 10 days. If your in a hurry you can also buy it from Amazon ( Moen 1225 One-Handle Replacement Cartridge ). Our Moen 7730 Single Handle Kitchen Faucet I shot a video of the dis-assembly and re-assembly of the kitchen faucet: The kit contained everything you need to replace the cartridge and get the faucet working like new again 1225 Cartridge Repair Kit 1225 Cartridge Kit Contents Here is a link to a pdf with the Moen 1225 cartridge installation instructions that came in the kit: Here are the components in the kit: Moen 122

Outdoor Temperature - Waiting for Update Honeywell WiFI Thermostat (RTH9580WF)

Just bought my wife a new thermostat for our house. We missed the HAI home automation thermostats in our previous house and their ability to display outdoor temperature. The NEST removed too much of our ability to control our thermostat and didn't show outdoor weather conditions. We choose the Honeywell RTH9580WF  (from Amazon) for a few reasons: RTH9580WF Outdoor Temperature - shows waiting for update Pros: Ability to control from a remotely Easy WiFi connectivity Reliable thermostat company Good 4 star plus reviews from Amazon Ability to show outdoor temperature and humidity Easy to use touchscreen and nice design Cons: C wire required No external temperature sensor Replacing  our existing heat pump thermostat was uneventful. I just carefully followed the instructions from Honeywell on how to install it. Our system was new enough to have a C-wire run but not connected to the existing thermostat. Honeywell's online tools and video helped me through this q

Comcast Xfinity HD uDTA Pace DC60Xu Unboxing and Setup Instructions

Image
Today I picked up two Comcast Xfinity uDTA (HD Digital Transport Adapters). These are the latest DTA's from Comcast that allow you to view HDTV using a tiny cable box as opposed to the huge boxes. They also have the advantage of being much less expensive to rent than the settop boxes. In my area they are easily exchanged for the for the original Thompson DTA's ( http://blog.trebacz.com/2010/03/comcast-dta-digital-transport-adapter.html ) from a couple years ago. Advantages of Comcast Xfinity HD DTA: Small compact size HDMI output or standard cable TV RF remote option (no line of site needed) Same monthly rental as standard definition DTA's Disadvantages of Xfinity HD uDTA: No menu system (or extremely limited) No on-demand programming No channel favorites Below is the unboxing process and what it took to hook it all up. If you'd rather see a video of the process, I did that also. You can see the video on my YouTube channel at: http://www.yo
